I never enjoyed fall and winter dressing, that is, until I understood the importance of good outerwear. I’m not only talking about warm pieces — I’m referring to fashionable staples that turn everyday clothes into a complete outfit. In my opinion, winter-ready jackets are a quick and easy way to elevate your style, and this year’s outerwear trends turn the sidewalk into a runway.
I’m already seeing jacket trends pop off for fall 2026, and I can only imagine how big they’ll continue to be in the winter. Think: tuxedo-inspired styles, floral-print numbers, athletic-looking windbreakers and funnel-neck picks that are already gracing NYC streets. My favorites come from brands you know and love, including Quince, J.Crew Factory, Open Edit and more. Trust me, these styles are so effortlessly chic, you might just wish it would stay chilly forever.
4 Outerwear Trends I’m Copying for Fall and Winter 2026
Tuxedo Jackets
1. The Coolest Fabric: This oversized corduroy blazer has an old-school yet chic vibe to it. Plus, it’ll keep you toastier than other options out there.
2. Focal Point: The beauty of this tuxedo jacket? It can be worn as an overcoat or belted to create a sultry night out mini dress.
3. Burgundy Beauty: Instead of your typical black or gray tuxedo jacket, turn heads with this Open Edit burgundy pick. Bonus: It’s the top color of the season.
4. Unexpected Fabric: The satin material on this rich espresso tuxedo jacket boosts the overall femininity, even with its structured shoulder pads.
5. The Ultimate Texture: It’s not often that we find a suede tuxedo jacket, but J.Crew Factory makes an expertly tailored walnut-hued one that’s steeply discounted to boot.
Floral-Print Jackets
6. Jacquard Dreams: With its thick, floral-embroidered fabric, this jacket will become the focal point of your outfit. Plus, it’ll keep you comfortably warm.
7. Multi-Textured: This sherpa jacket has a lot going on between the denim lining and floral pattern. Personally, it all works beautifully to create the coolest statement piece.
8. So Unique: The 3D fleece flowers on this All in Favor jacket add texture and tons of personality. It comes in three colors — brown, burgundy and green/navy — and honestly, it’ll be a challenge to pick just one.
9. Quilted Queen: A jacket that looks and feels like your favorite blanket? That’s exactly what you get with this vintage-inspired quilted puffer.
10. Tonal ‘Tude: Not a fan of in-your-face floral patterns? This embroidered jacket keeps things simple with a tonal brown-on-brown design.
Sporty Windbreakers
11. Model Off-Duty: Look like you just worked up a sweat at the star-studded Alo gym when you don this color-block quarter-zip windbreaker. We love how the contrasting zippers stand out from the base.
12. Cinched In: This cropped windbreaker doesn’t just look fashionable, it also gives you the illusion of a smaller waist.
13. Feminine Flair: Reminiscent of peplum tops, this zip windbreaker features a ruffled hem and hidden hood.
14. Fashionable and Functional: Rain won’t get to you down when you have this water-repellant windbreaker on. We love how breathable and durable this stylish pick is.
15. High Fashion: The refined plaid pattern and oversized flap pockets make this Kenneth Cole jacket the ideal pick for the fashionistas who also like to break a sweat.
Funnel-Neck Jackets
16. Straight Off the Runway: I swear I saw a version of this bomber-trench coat hybrid on Paris Fashion Week runways. The striped funnel-neck design costs much less than couture!
17. No Scarf Needed: On those deceivingly cold days, you’ll be glad you have this chic cropped peacoat that protects your neck from the elements without the need for a scarf.
18. Sleek and Shiny: Leather jackets and fall go hand in hand. However, you can upgrade the classic style with this burgundy leather bomber. It’s the perfect night-out jacket.
19. Flip It: Not sure how you’ll style the funnel-neck design? This merino wool peacoat gives you the option to wear it upright, or flip the collar down for more breathing room.
20. Gingham for Fall: You may think gingham is a summer pattern, but this funnel-neck trench proves that the motif is multi-seasonal!
